Welcome back

Yep, it was nice to visit, but coming home is better. Talk about two countries divided by a common language.

I assume C-14's come with a higher power engine, the wind resistance from the clear plastic barn doors they use as screens must be enourmous.

How do they stop the 'gas' leaking out of their fuel tanks ? I think a liquid like petrol is much more practical.

But of course the engine's are more powerful and the wind resistance on the large shields is high (I think my MPG drops about 2mpg or so when said shield is fully activated and online..  The best gas mileage I've ever had is with the stock 08 shield.

The reason why the change took longer was down to 123-reg

For the techies, I run my own private nameservers. As they are hosted via 123-reg, they update the IP addresses linking the name servers.

Initially I did it using the online tool and then waited for the propogation to happen. What I was seeing was some DNS servers pick up the new change and others hanging onto the old IP address. A quick Google confirmed this was a known issue with 123-reg so I raised a support ticket and bam!, as soon as they'd resoved it last night, I could see the changes ripple across the net.

The other aspect I'm happy with is that all by backup scripts work, hence why we still have all the posts.

P.S. I did ask LW to look after the site whilst I was away

Of course ! Why didin't I see that ? "Hanging on to the old IP address" and "the well known issue with the 123 - Reg" .......    You are a clever chap Asif and we all thank you for it ! Once again, well done you. 
LW looking after the forum ?? ....
I think you'll find he's too busy playing with his new toy...  .... and no it doesn't have 2 wheels but it hard, dark, has a variable length and will fit into most models !!

All I did was try to keep things running, I pressed a few buttons, flicked a few switches, turned a few dials and then I saw a message on screen saying Lonewolf you've fuc*ed up again.


123-reg, private nameservers, propogation, DNS servers, hanging onto the old IP address, raised a support ticket, ripple across the net, backup scripts work.




Yeah I thought if you looked at those things it'd sort it.

I for one have no f***ing what you've just said, and I really don't know what is involved, but I did miss this Forum! Very nice to see our Brothers-across-the-Pond 'lending' us their site as well.

Thanks again for all the behind the scene stuff...

There's another DOS attack against the service provider. You might have trouble accessing this site.
Fortunately this time, it's not an attack against the server hosting this site

[virginiajim]
